Nemo Coda Genderless Endless Promise Sleeping Bag Review
A GENDER-NEUTRAL SLEEPING BAG FOR CAR CAMPING AND BACKPACKING
July 31st, 2024

Our verdict
The Nemo Coda genderless sleeping bag is a modern take on a traditional mummy bag. Its ultralight design is sleek and trim yet provides enough room for side sleepers to move around comfortably at night. Cut with more room at the elbows and knees than your average mummy-fit sleeping bag, the Coda is ideal for folks who want a little extra space, but light and packable enough to bring with them in the backcountry.
I took the Coda to a local state park campground and backpacking this camping season to test its gender-neutral design and fit, comfort, and packability. I was impressed by the Coda’s tapered fit that still offers room to twist and turn in the middle of the night. I was also blown away by its sustainability standards. I was also excited to test my first gender-neutral sleeping bag as someone who bounces between both the men’s and women’s departments when buying outdoor gear. Spoiler: I’m a big fan of this genderless bag.
The Coda is part of the Nemo Endless Promise collection of sleeping bags that are 100% recyclable at the end of their life, making this bag the most eco-friendly I’ve ever tested and used. It’s constructed with a mono-polymer design—which means it’s made entirely from a single type of material—users can return retired Endless Promise sleeping bags to the brand to be broken down and remade into new products in the future.
Extra features make this luxury sleeping bag one of the most comfortable I’ve slept in while snoozing in the backcountry. A single Thermo Gill vent—Nemo’s proprietary temperature regulation design—lets campers fine-tune their temperature by dumping heat from a ventilated zipper on the front of the sleeping bag. It includes an internal and external zipper to incrementally release body heat without direct exposure to cold temperatures. Hydrophobic-coated 800 fill power down provides supreme packability and warmth—even when wet. And Nemo’s unique Headwall baffle at the sleeping bag’s neckline helps trap in heat on extra cold nights.

Key features

Temperature rating and season suitability
The Nemo Coda Endless Promise sleeping bag provides comfort and versatility across a range of temperatures and seasonal conditions. I tested the 25 – 35F Coda in late spring and throughout the summer in the Midwest and on the Appalachian Trail (AT) in North Carolina in temperatures ranging from the 50s in May and June to the 60s in July.
The Coda comes in two comfort rating options, including a 25 – 35F bag with an ISO Comfort rating of 37F and ISO Limit of 28F, as well as a 10 – 20F bag with an ISO Comfort 25F and ISO Limit of 11F. We recommend using this bag in three seasons: spring, summer, and fall.
A genderless bag, Nemo includes both the Limit temperature rating and the comfort temperature rating. Per industry standards, the limit rating, or the first number referenced, is considered the benchmark for men, while the Comfort rating, or the second number referenced, is considered most applicable to women. For a complete explanation of how to interpret the Nemo Coda temperature ratings, read this Nemo blog post on understanding temperature ratings.
Because I tested the Coda in warmer camping conditions, I was mostly concerned with how hot I might feel overnight as temperatures fluctuated between the 50s and 60s throughout the spring and summer months. While camping this summer over a weekend-long trip on the Appalachian Trail, I appreciated the option to unzip the Thermo Gill using both the external and internal zipper to continually dump heat as needed. The front zipper also allowed me to unzip the front of the sleeping bag completely to allow ample airflow while sleeping. However, I was also able to pull the cover over me quickly if a breeze wafted through the tent.
Adequate for use during the core three camping seasons, the Nemo Coda Endless Promise sleeping bag blends warmth, comfort, and versatile features for temperature regulation. In extremely cold temperatures or winter camping in harsh conditions, you’ll want to opt for a sleeping bag with a lower temperature rating and extra insulation. Check out our Best Cold Weather Sleeping Bag in our Best Backpacking Sleeping Bags guide to learn more.
Insulation type and quality
Zipping and unzipping the Thermogill on the Nemo Disco Coda Genderless Endless Promise sleeping bag allows backpackers to control their temperature better than traditional mummy bags.
Featuring 800 fill power, Responsible Down Certified (RDS-certified), and water-resistant down, the Coda is an ideal option for backpackers limited by weight and space in their pack or car campers who want a packable sleeping bag in the front country.
The Coda’s premium down is ideal for chillier conditions and packs down to the same size as a loaf of bread, making Coda a versatile option for both ultralight backpacking and cold-weather camping trips. Nemo used hydrophobic down in this sleeping bag to better repel water and designed the bag with a waterproof hood and footbox where campers most often come in contact with wet tent walls.
Lastly, to achieve 100% recyclability for the Coda Endless Promise sleeping bags, Nemo utilized 100% recycled polyester as the sole material for the shell and liner of the bag.
Weight and packed size
With 800 fill power RDS-certified down, the Coda packs down to just larger than a Nalgene and is ideal for backpacking and saving space while car camping. Photo by Erica Zazo.
The Coda’s tapered fit trims every extra ounce possible to make this bag Nemo’s lightest and most compact mummy bag of the Endless Promise lineup. When compressed, its high-loft fill packs down to an impressively small size—just slightly taller and slightly wider than a standard Nalgene water bottle. Campers looking for more room for sleeping should consider the Nemo Disco Endless Promise or the Nemo Forte Endless Promise.
The weight ranges from approximately 1 lbs 9 oz to 2 lbs 14 oz, depending on the model and size. The Coda comes in six different length and temperature rating variations, including short, long, and regular lengths across both the 10-20F and 25-35F bags. I tested the regular length 25-35F bag, which weighs 1 lbs 11 oz, while the 10-20F bag weighs 2 lbs 9 oz because of extra material and down within the bag.
When car camping with my large SUV I typically opt for a large and wide bag like the Nemo Disco or REI HunkerDown so that I have more room to move around at night. However, the Coda makes a great option for campers who want to buy a bag that will suit them well both in the frontcountry and backcountry. Anyone concerned about space in their bag should opt for the Coda over Nemo’s Disco, Forte, or Tempo bags. On my AT backpacking trip, I was able to fit the Coda in the bottom of my Granite Gear Crown3 60L with plenty of room for all of my other gear.
The Coda includes a water-resistant stuff sack for compressing the bag for backcountry adventures, and a mesh bag for car camping and storing the Coda in between trips.
Shape and design
A layout of the Nemo Disco Coda Genderless Endless Promise that shows its unique shape.
The Nemo Coda Endless Promise sleeping bag takes an innovative approach to its non-gendered design and thoughtful features, like the Thermo Gills, Headwall draft guard, waterproof outer fabric, and relaxed mummy shape.
Genderless design
As a non-binary human, I’m a big fan of gender-neutral or genderless gear for its gender-affirming qualities. As someone who doesn’t squarely see themselves in either the men’s or women’s gear department, I appreciate having an option for purchasing gear that allows me to choose the non-gender-conforming route.
It’s honestly unclear if Nemo created the Coda genderless sleeping bag as a means to offering non-gendered gear to their consumers, or if they wanted to make a more streamlined, simplified version of their traditional gendered sleeping bags. I couldn’t find much (if any) information about their genderless approach online. However, I am happy to have an option for non-gendered gear like the Coda sleeping bag when shopping with Nemo.
Mummy shape
With extra room in the shoulders and knees, the Coda’s mummy spoon shape caters to side sleepers who want more room to move around at night. As a side sleeper myself, a spoon-shaped sleeping bag is a must so that I can roll over throughout the night. I also appreciated the Coda’s roomy foot and front zipper that can be flapped open to free my arms—especially on warmer nights.
While this bag does have extra room than most traditional mummy bags, it is probably not conducive to folks with larger bodies. I wear large and extra-large clothing items and find myself to fit with just a bit of room in this bag. If you’re looking for a bag best fit for bigger bodies, consider the Nemo Disco or Nemo Forte.
Thermo gill
With one large Thermo Gill that runs parallel to the front zipper, you can adjust the airflow in and out of the sleeping bag. This comes in handy on warm evenings when camping in spring and summer months. I do wish there were double Thermo Gills, like what you’ll find in the Nemo Disco, Forte, and Tempo bags. However, Nemo opted to include a front zipper to taper the fit of this sleeping bag so it’s more compact and streamlined for backcountry use cases.
Waterproof footbox
A waterproof head and footbox on the Coda Endless Promise bag prevent condensation from soaking through the outer fabric of the bag. The head and footbox are the most common points on a sleeping bag to come in contact with the tent walls, which can build up water droplets on the inside of the tent in extra rainy or humid conditions.
Other features
Additional features on the Nemo Coda include an integrated pillow pocket, an oversized Headwall draft collar to trap heat, and an easy-cinch drawstring to tighten the hood around your head in cold weather. Campers can use the integrated pillow pocket to keep their inflatable camp pillow secure or stuff extra clothes in for a makeshift pillow.
Features

Comfort and sleeping experience
I slept super comfortably in the Coda thanks to its ultra-soft inner polyester lining and super lofted 800 fill power down. I love that the outer fabric isn’t scratchy, and therefore doesn’t make a scratching noise as you toss and turn in the night against your sleeping pad.
If you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll also be excited to know that the footbox on the Coda also comes with a zippered opening. This feature allows direct access and instant ventilation, which comes in handy on extra hot nights when your feet need a little extra air to breathe.
Thermal performance

As I mentioned before, it would’ve been nice to see Nemo incorporate not one but two Thermo Gills as they do in their other mummy-tapered bags. These extra gills come in handy when needing to dump heat and regulate temperature in hot weather.
I did not have the chance to test this bag in sub-50s temperatures, however, Nemo bills this bag as an ideal option for winter environments if you purchase the 10-20F temperature-rated bag.
Draft collar and hood
This sleeping bag comes with a built-in Headwall draft collar and hood to trap warmth and prevent chilly air from seeping into open seams at the neckline. While you’ll find a hood on most sleeping bags on the market, draft collars are a unique feature that can make all the difference when camping on chilly nights.
Spatial design
Close-up on the Nemo Coda's design shows the draft collar and mummy silhouette design as well as the ThermoGills.
The Coda’s custom mummy silhouette cuts as much excess material as possible for ultimate weight savings and packability. I found this bag has ample room in the shoulders, knees, and elbows to move around, but it will not have as much space as more relaxed-fit sleeping bags would in their Endless Promise collection, like the Disco, Forte, or Tempo.
Durability and build quality
Easy-to-rip fabric, snagged zippers, and busted stitching seams are all common durability and build quality features over the long term with sleeping bags. Since it is new this year, even though I have only had the chance to camp with the Coda for one season, I’m very impressed with the design and build quality of this bag. I don’t foresee much (if any) issue with the diminished quality of this bag over camping season after camping season.
A huge pet peeve of mine is when zippers snag against excess fabric when opening and closing the sleeping bag. It was extremely rare that I ever ran into a case where I found my zipper snagging on the exterior and interior fabric of the Coda. The Thermo Gills zippers are much smaller than the front flap zipper, so it was important to be more mindful about how quickly I unzipped the gills to prevent snagging, especially on the inner zipper which is harder to see.
All Nemo products also come with the brand’s lifetime warranty. The lifetime warranty on all gear considers defects in product manufacturing and any damages outside of normal wear and tear that may arise.
Materials used in construction
The Nemo Coda excels at packability, especially compared to similar bags on the market.
The Coda Endless Promise rises to the top for its high-quality design, attention to detail, and durable comfort.
Ripstop polyester fabric
The Coda is made of 100% recycled ripstop polyester fabric throughout the entire sleeping bag. This high-quality material is designed to stand up to wear and tear and abrasion. Even more, because of the Coda’s Endless Promise designation, campers can return their sleeping bag to Nemo so that it’s fully recycled at the end of its life.
Strong yet comfortable fabric
The sleeping bag shell fabric is durable and abrasion-resistant and comes with a reinforced head and footbox for added water repellency. It is soft against the skin, making for a comfortable feel while sleeping.
Water-resistant treatment
The sleeping bag's shell fabric is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to help repel moisture and water. The 800 fill power hydrophobic treated down is also protected against moisture and will continue to keep you warm and insulated, even in damp conditions.
Quality insulation
The RDS-certified down is of the highest quality and maintains its loft and warmth for the long run. The Coda packs down to the smallest size in the Endless Promise collection and returns to its original loft when removed from its stuff sack, even when packed up for multiple days at a time.
Ease of use and portability
The Nemo Coda comes with its own compression sack that it fits into easily.
How easy is it to pack and unpack?
The Coda is intuitive and easy to pack and unpack. It comes with a compression sack included at purchase and a mesh stuff sack that allows more room for the down to spread out when packed for car camping or storage. Thanks to its highly-compressible 800 fill power down, the Coda packs down to slightly larger than a Nalgene water bottle and is ideal for backpacking. You can read more about how fill power is related to packability and weight in our down explainer.
Compatibility with other sleeping pads
With a wider shape than traditional mummy bags, you will have slightly more room to spread out and move around inside the Coda Genderless Endless Promise. It’s compatible with all sleeping pad types. It does not come with a built-in pad compartment to secure a sleeping pad to the sleeping bag. However, you will fit on most sleeping pad options, including my favorites: the Nemo Tensor All-Season, Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xlite, and Sea to Summit Ether Lite XT. Learn about these sleeping pads and more in our Best Backpacking Sleeping Pads guide.
Weight and bulkiness for backpacking
The Nemo Coda is a compact backpacking bag. Here it is shown with its compression sack and on a sleeping bag to show the size comparison.
With the Coda you don’t have to compromise weight or bulk for comfort. As Nemo’s lightest and most compact bag on its product roster, the Coda is an ideal backpacking option for campers concerned about weight and capacity on the trail. Nemo cut as much extra material as they could without sacrificing comfort and performance for the Coda—and I noticed that effort throughout my testing.
It’s a surprisingly roomy bag with an under 2 lb weight (for the 25-35F regular bag) that fits nicely inside the bottom of your pack. As a backpacker who likes to bring along creature comforts into the back and frontcountry, it’s an ideal sleeping bag to pair with luxury items I also put into my pack before I head out. Cinching down the stuff sack straps, I can cut an extra inch off (at least) the stuffed pack size to minimize bulkiness. Thankfully, the 800 fill power down used in the Coda is highly compressible—and it shows. In contrast, the Disco uses 600 fill power, which is bulkier.
Performance in various conditions
The author inside the Nemo Coda sleeping bag.
Warmth in cold weather
While the Coda may not stand up to the most extreme Arctic conditions, it’s a solid bag to choose for three-season camping, and for adding a sleeping bag liner to when temperatures drop well below freezing. If you plan to camp in cold weather, consider purchasing the Coda 10-20F sleeping bag, which is rated for a comfort level down to 11F. It is ideal for chilly spring and crisp fall outings as well as summer nights when you want a bag that can be easily unzipped and adjusted using the Thermal Gills and unzippable footbox.
As someone who lives in the Midwest with constantly changing seasons and unpredictable weather patterns, it is nice to have a sleeping bag that can be adjusted thanks to a feature-packed design that includes Thermal Gills, a Headwall draft guard, and hydrophobic down.
Ventilation in warm weather
Close-up on the Thermo-Gill and ability to control ventilation on the Nemo Coda sleeping bag.
The Coda’s Thermo Gills help support ventilation on warm nights and you can also unzip the footbox to stick your feet out for extra breathing room. I appreciated a full front flap on the Coda that allowed me to throw the front of the bag completely open so my arms and chest have room to breathe too.
The exterior polyester material feels sticky in humid and hot weather if you sweat. To avoid sticking to the top of the sleeping bag on nights I did not want to sleep inside, I used a fleece and/or Merino wool sleeping bag liner to make sure my skin did not touch the sticky polyester shell.
Moisture resistance and water-repellent
I was very appreciative of the waterproof footbox and hood on this sleeping bag as I tend to roll around at night in the tent and touch the sidewalls, which are typically covered in condensation. I had no problem with any moisture seeping into the Coda sleeping bag, even when camping in light rain and humid nights on the Appalachian Trail. While my bag did not get soaked in testing, it’s reassuring to know that the 800 fill power RDS-certified down inside of this bag is treated with DWR water repellency, meaning it will keep campers insulated even when wet and dry quicker than non-treated down. You can read more about what 800-fill power down means in our down explainer.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Nemo Coda Endless Promise sets the highest standard for sustainability in the sleeping bag market. Its 100% recyclable approach is a first-of-its-kind and uses recycled polyester throughout to make it one of the most eco-friendly sleeping bags I’ve ever used. I love that this bag is fully repairable and recyclable, with ideally no Coda bags ever produced ever landing in the landfill in the future.
Constructed with 100% recycled polyester, Nemo has reduced its environmental impact with its Endless Promise collection. The closed-loop design process eliminates the need for any Endless Promise sleeping bag to be thrown away. Instead, consumers can send their used sleeping bags at the end of their life back to the brand to repurpose, resell, or recycle in their entirety.
NEMO CODA 10-20 VS 25-35
Available in 10-20F-degree and 25-35F-degree options, both bags offer similar features and are suitable for different temperature ranges.
Temperature rating
The 10-20F-degree sleeping bag is designed for colder conditions, providing warmth and insulation in temperatures as low as 11°F (-12°C). The 25-35F-degree sleeping bag is suitable for milder conditions, offering comfort around 23°F (-5°C) and above.
Insulation
Both bags feature RDS-certified 800 fill-down insulation, which provides warmth and compressibility. However, the 10-20F-degree bag has more insulation to accommodate colder temperatures than the 25-35F-degree bag.
Weight and packability
The Nemo Coda inside of a backpacking backpack. It is a relatively compact sleeping bag.
Due to its additional insulation, the 10-20-degree sleeping bag is heavier and less compressible than the 25-35-degree bag. Because of this, the 25-35-degree sleeping bag is better for backpacking and lightweight travel.
All Coda bags are genderless and available in a short, regular and long design. The colors differ for each bag rating. The regular and long bags require more insulation or material than the short bag. Therefore, the price is higher than the shorter bag in both temperature rating options.
WHAT COULD BE BETTER?
As I mentioned before, I would’ve loved to have two Thermo Gills on this bag so that I have more options for ventilation in warmer months. Other bags across the Nemo collection include two Thermo Gills, but the Coda cuts down on extra material and bulk by removing one of the duo gills. It is innovative to also have two layers of zippers for the Thermo Gills—one interior and one exterior—but I did find it difficult to find the zipper in the pitch-black. The zippers on the Thermo Gills are sleek and small, making it hard to find and unzip, especially in the middle of the night.
Another downfall of the Coda is that this bag is less accommodating to larger bodies than other Nemo sleeping bags on the market. Our other testers found the Nemo Disco and Nemo Forte have a more relaxed, wider fit than the Coda. If you’re looking for a sleeping bag with space for wider hips, shoulders, and body type, in my opinion, you’ll want to consider other bags versus the Coda, unfortunately.
Lastly, with a premium quality bag comes a premium price point. I don’t love how expensive this bag is but I recognize the sustainability design initiatives and use of high-quality materials come into play with a technical bag like the Coda. For folks who are looking for a lower price tag, this bag might not be the best pick—although I wish it could be more affordable for everyone. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, check out our pick for Best Affordable Sleeping Bag in our Best Backpacking Sleeping Bags guide.
Should I buy the Nemo Coda sleeping bag?
For backpackers looking for a lightweight sleeping bag option that doesn’t sacrifice comfort, I would say the Coda is an amazing fit. Also for campers who want a gender-neutral choice in the sleeping bag they purchase, the Coda rises to the top as one of the most technical non-gendered bags you’ll find on the market.
With premium design elements like high-quality 800 fill hydrophobic down and technical features like Thermo Gills for ventilation, a waterproof hood and foot box, and a tapered mummy design that still gives you room in the elbows and shoulders to move around, this bag checks all the boxes.
As a part of the Endless Promise collection, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more sustainable roster of sleeping bags on the market than the Coda and its larger siblings: the Disco, Riff, Forte, and Tempo. This 100% recyclable sleeping bag can be sent back to the brand at the end of its life to be made into new products versus dumped in the landfill—and that, we love.

There are three main differences between the Coda and the Disco: the shape, the insulation, and the number of ThermoGills. The Nemo Disco utilizes 650 FP hydrophobic, PFAS-free, RDS-certified down, while the Coda has 800 FL hydrophobic, PFAS-free, RDS-certified down. Both can be returned to Nemo to be recycled at the end of life. Both sleeping bags have a draft collar. The Disco has two Thermo gills and the Coda only has one.
The Nemo Disco features a spoon shape design, which is the best sleeping bag shape for side sleepers who move around a lot in the middle of the night. Mummy bags, like the Coda, do not accommodate for this movement as much as spoon shaped bags, which provide even more room at the elbows and knees. While the Coda does have extra room here as well, the Riff is even more well-suited for side sleepers and camping wiggle worms.
